Image notes
Please do not expect a 'jewelry quality' finish on the polished surface but is effective for signage and as the metal is reclaimed some imperfections do appear. Green copper comes in many hues - please do not go by the pics for colour truth but please ask for any preferences in the patination due to the pressing process that will ‘heal’ with time

Packaging
The shipping and handling also includes the materials (ie - box, packing tape, etc) that I need to actually ship the item. The cardboard, plastic and bubble wrap I use to wrap are usually from recycled materials from my neighbours' businesses.
I normally post to the UK using 2nd class recorded, for quantity or larger items I use a signed for courier service to the address that you provide here on Etsy. If you need me to ship to another address, please let me know.
If you need a faster form of delivery e.g. first class, just let me know, just a pound more usually.
International Buyers
Shipping can take 3-10 business days, depending on the country. I send all items on at least a 'tracked' service so your correct delivery address is important along with a tel number for the label (driver cannot find you etc)
I can also send by 'signed for' on request.
Sometimes packages can also get held up in customs at your end. Please take this into consideration when placing your order.

Additional Policies and FAQ
I have a fully equipped workshop and supplies of steel, copper, timbers-mostly oak, Trespa cladding etc etc with bandsaws, saws, sanders, welder, routers to name a few so welcome any special requests or design ideas. Can also ship furniture and larger signage worldwide.
Sizes mentioned e.g. 3"/75mm refer to the height of the character
Designed to be maintenance free - the limed oak is exterior grade wood
The polished copper is coated with marine quality lacquer - the patinated copper is left 'as is' and should improve with time and humidity
Now making for 8 years with repeat orders and no adverse comments
